PRINCETON AGAIN LEADS YALE AND HARVARD CREWS

THIRD RACE OF SERIES WILL BE HELD TODAY

Southport, Conn., June 14--Princeton won the second of the triangular yacht races among the Tiger, Yale, and Harvard crews here this afternoon. Today's victory was the second straight for the Princeton crew and practically assures the Tiger sailors of first place in the series. The race was held on a ten and three-tenths mile course, with the three crews racing in eight meter boats owned by members of the Pequot Yacht Clug, of Southport, under whose auspices the series is being conducted.

According to original plans, the second race of the series was to be held this morning, but light winds caused the postponement of the race to this afternoon.

Yesterday, "Sonny", piloted by Arthur Knapp of Princeton, crossed the finish line almost ten minutes ahead of the Yale boat, which lead the Harvard boat by over two minutes.

Today, Princeton again led the triangular regatta to the finish by a generous margin.

The Harvard crew is made up of J. W. Valentine '29, W. T. King '29, F. L. Spalding '29, W. C. Wyeth '29, A. B. Kloumann '30. The third race of the series will be held tomorrow morning.
